How to call Italy.
An Italian number is built from four parts — and unusually, you keep the leading 0. Here's the anatomy and dialling order.
Number anatomy
Start with the exit prefix
Press + on a mobile (hold the 0 key), or dial 00 from most countries, or 011 from North America.
Add the Italy code
Dial +39. This identifies Italy on the global telephone network.
Enter the area or mobile prefix
Type the first part of the local number. Drop the leading 0 if there is one.
Finish with the subscriber number
The remaining digits route the call to the specific line in Rome or elsewhere.
